Why would this trifle be newsworthy?

[...] the concept of "quantum supremacy" is a bit underwhelming. You only need to prove that exists: *one* instance size for *one* specific problem that has *no* practical use (and that is specialized for *your* device) in order to claim "supremacy" for your device. And [Richard Borcherds] is totally right on this (but, as I just wrote, he went too far with his argument and did not account for programmability, which makes all the difference.) To which I answer with two observations.

The first is that, for quantum "skeptics" in the community (such as Gil Kalai for example), even this lame definition of quantum supremacy should not be attainable! Skeptics have to understand that denying the feasibility of quantum supremacy is a very difficult task, exactly because the definition is so underwhelming! If you are a non-believer in quantum supremacy, then not only you claim that quantum computers will never have an edge over classical computers for practical problems, but you are claiming that, no matter what the problem and instance size at hand, classical will always be better or roughly on par with quantum in performance. So, think twice before taking this stance. I am looking at you, uneducated Dunning-Kruger commenter on Slashdot.

My second observation is that in my opinion all these misunderstandings are due to the unfortunate choice of the word "quantum supremacy", because it gives false expectations to the non-expert audience.

Until security updates are available, users who wish to protect themselves from the baseband remote code execution vulnerabilities in Samsung’s Exynos chipsets can turn off Wi-Fi calling and Voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) in their device settings. Turning off these settings will remove the exploitation risk of these vulnerabilities.
